Answer»

The correct answer is (a) True

Easy explanation: At the equator the mean seasonal VARIATION is small and the mean TEMPERATURE is high whereas at the POLES the mean seasonal variation is LARGE and the mean temperature is LOW. This is due to the change in temperature with respect to the altitude of the atmosphere. It is almost similar to a sine graph.
